Malt 379 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Everybody still gets their milk delivered here.. I did in my old place too, but the milkman only used to collect once in a blue moon and you ended up having to find about £70 when he used to come knocking! At least the one here comes regular as clockwork on a Friday night.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
